Pakistan opt to bowl
Pakistan (Playing XI): Fakhar Zaman, Haseebullah Khan, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan(w), Salman Agha, Hussain Talat, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Shaheen Afridi(c), Haris Rauf, Faisal Akram
Kusal Mendis: He is not well, hence he is not playing. It's bit hard to bat here in the first innings. We have four changes today. We are looking to score more 290. I think 320 will be a good score. We have a very good team, everyone has done well in the last couple of tours.
Shaheen Afridi: We are going to bowl first. It's depending on the conditions. There will be dew in the second innings. The wicket in Pindi is good for runs. We'll try to restrict them today. We have four changes. Really satisfied with the boys. Players are in good form.
Pakistan have won the toss and have opted to field
13:30 Local Time, 08:30 GMT, 14:00 IST: Babar Azam’s brilliant century, complemented by solid contributions from Fakhar and Rizwan, powered Pakistan to a 2-0 lead in the series. With the result already secured, Pakistan can use the 3rd ODI to rotate their squad and test their bench strength. Sri Lanka have produced moments of promise but are yet to put together a cohesive performance. Kamil Mishara has looked good at the start of his innings but hasn’t capitalised on those beginnings. With today’s match being played at the same venue, another high-scoring encounter is on the cards. Stay tuned for the toss and team changes..
